# Turbine Toy Boats The Motorized Inflatable Bumper Boat is Raging Water Fun By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-07-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorized-inflatable-bumper-boat References: [inventorspot](http://inventorspot.com/articles/float_your_own_boat_motorized_inflatable_bumper_boat_30496) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Excalibur-Motorized-Bumper-Boat/dp/B000PSU12O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1248097469&sr=8-1&tag=trenhunt0f-20) I think it's a common consensus that motorized things are simply cooler than non-motorized things. I would also think it’s safe to say that motorized floaties are better than non-motorized floaties. The Motorized Inflatable Bumper Boat from Excalibur is pretty close to the most perfect [water toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-splash-and-bubbles) ever. It features cool looking [steering wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-boat-model), a top speed of 3mph (WHAT!?...kidding) and it’s fully padded for comfortable fun. I could imagine the Motorized Inflatable Bumper Boat being given to a child as a Christmas present and being used the most by the parents. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Motorized Floaties:** The trend of motorizing floaties offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the water toy industry. - **Inflatable Bumper Boats:** The trend of inflatable bumper boats presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the water toy industry. - **Motorized Water Toys:** The trend of motorizing water toys provides a disruptive innovation opportunity in the recreational toy industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Water Toy:** Disruptive innovation opportunities can be found in the water toy industry by creating motorized floaties and inflatable bumper boats. - **Recreational Toy:** The recreational toy industry has a disruptive innovation opportunity by developing motorized water toys that provide unique and exciting experiences. - **Parenting:** The parenting industry can take advantage of the trend of motorized inflatable bumper boats by offering them as popular and entertaining gifts for children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Motorized Inflatable Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goboat-20.md) - [Air-Powered Racer Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpower-turbo-racer.md) - [Electric Bike-Like Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/envo-hydra-waterbike.md) - [Propellerless Boat Motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boat-motor.md) - [All-Electric Lifestyle Pontoon Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-pontoon-boat.md) - [Riproaring Electric Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-electric-boats.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md) - [Ultra-Fast Hybrid Speedboats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-speedboat.md) - [Fun-Filled Inflatable Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-board.md)
